As you know you're limited to 4 tables of rush poker per rush poker lobby. Today I tried adding a 5th rush poker table of lower stakes. After doing this my HUD stopped working for all 4 of my other tables and only worked on the 5th table. Is there a way that I can get my HUD working on more rush tables?

Edit to add that the HUD displayed the player names for the players on my first 4 tables but all stats showed up as white zero's. Things went back to normal as soon as I closed the 5th rush table.

Are the tables overlapping?
Please post a screenshot.

I couldn't get a screenshot to work just now but I'll try again later.

I did notice something else though. 4 100nl Rush tables running tiled on my 30" monitor at max resolution then I added 1 50nl Rush table and hit tile again which significantly shrinks the table size. Same problem only this time I noticed that the names displayed were missing characters for instance "sharpia" would be "sh r ia". Is HEM's HUD using screen scraping to get the names of players at each new table?

Yes, we use OCR currently for the Rush HUD and for the pre-fetch HUD.


1) Make sure the FTP Lobby > Languages > Language Options are set to English.

2) The tables need to be sized appropriately. (600 - 750 range) If your Rush table is outside of that range a pop-up message in the HUD window will advise you.

3) Make sure your HUD doesn't overlap names on the table. We're using a screen scrape method for various reasons and the names must be visible so we can read them.

4) Most performance issues can be resolved by changing the table window size even by a small amount.See #1 and make sure you have the rush update installed http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmBetaUpdate.exe

5) Test the Hud out on a normal table first to verify its working

6) Dont use any Aero or other windows themes, change it to the default xp/vistawin7 theme

XP Windows XP: Use Windows XP in "Classic view" (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/personalize/classic.mspx)
Vista Change the desktop theme (http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsvista/theme.aspx)
Win7
Windows 7 Switching Desktop Themes in Windows 7: Changing the Windows Aero Theme With Two Easy Methods (http://pc-tutorials.suite101.com/article.cfm/switching_desktop_themes_in_windows_7)

7) Turn Cleartype Off

Windows 7 Turn Off ClearType — MAXIMUMpcguides – Windows 7 tips, tricks, help, and how-to guides (http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-7/turn-off-cleartype/)

8) Turn Avatars off in Full Tilt go to Options and untick Avatars

9) Switch between Classic and Racetrack in FT by going to Options > Table View

10) If you are using graphics mods you need to restore the default FTP graphics.

FTP Graphics Restore (http://www.fozzypokermods.com/ftprestore.html)

You should be able to use the Selective Restore Package and install the BasePods Classic and BasePods RaceTrack so that HMHUD can properly read the names from the basepod. The area around the player name text must be the default colors of Black or White.

11) Reduce number of tables

12) Please give HoldemManager Administrator rights -

1) Go to C:\Program Files\RVG Software\Holdem Manager (Program Files (x86) if you have the 64bit version)
2) Rightclick the HoldemManager.exe and choose "Properties".
3) Go to the Compatibility Tab and select "Run this program as an Administrator".
4) Do the same for HMHud.exe and DBControlPanel.exe
